Re: Editorial: Trying to Play Monster Hunter XX in Japanese on the Nintendo Switch

@JaxonH The WiiU comment is obvious. You're happy to blindly defend beyond factual reason and evidence, a console. You'll gladly sit there and say "this is fine, there is nothing wrong" like the fanboys in the WiiU days. As a gamer, I demand better and will not damage control a companies poor choices and shortcomings. Like releasing underpowered hardware compared to the competition, especially because Nintendo have specifically said it's a home console before it's a hybrid.

How do I feel spiteful? 2 of the 4 longest (and 2 of the best) games I've played this year and have loved have been Zelda and Mario, both on Switch. The Switch does several things right but many things wrong. The Switch is by no means perfect and isn't above criticism. When games are dropping to below standard definition at 22fps (Xenoblade) then things aren't ok. When games are running lower than lowest settings, things aren't ok.

There is a reason why games look and perform better on Xbox/PS4/PC. They are higher powered system. You cannot debate this, outside of a lazy dev or a bad port, every game has more available CPU, memory and GPU power available to it on all 3 of those platforms. This may hurt you to hear, but it's the truth and 100% fact.

But whatever justifies your illogical argument to yourself, np.

@JaxonH Your entire first paragraph has contradicted itself. Not a surprise from a fanboy though. Dedicated MH on Switch will never look as good as the other consoles, or anywhere NEAR a PC version. Then of course dropping the quality even lower in handheld.

Fanboys are so painful sometimes. Can't wait to have the superior experience on something that isn't Switch next year.

@roadrunner343 The Analogue NT was always too rich for my blood, but I hear it's a fantastic unit. Which is why when I heard they were doing FPGA for the Super NT, I wanted in. So many cables, so many systems, so many screens. I even have a 19" CRT VGA monitor just for Dreamcast stuff that supports VGA, but again space is becoming an issue with 700+ games, 20+ systems, an arcade jamma cab and all these damn monitors.

I also just looked at PVM prices again and apparently they have DOUBLED in the last month @_@ fml

@roadrunner343 The cost of the PVM itself wouldn't put me off, it's just the shipping cost since trying to find one in Ireland is like finding a unicorn. We both know how big and heavy those are, so the shipping would be outrageous. Not to mention it could be damaged in transit.

I have a Trinitron for that used to be for almost everything, but now it's only for certain things (like certain fighting games, F-zero, etc) but space and convenience is finally taking a toll on me. Hence the framemeister. I'm also toying with the idea of getting an AVS and Analogue Super NT next year.

I need a bigger place to live lol

Retrogamingcables have been my go to source for high quality cables for almost all my retro consoles (which I have almost 20 of), or at least all the ones they make them for that I needed. Coupled with my recent framemeister purchase, I've got pretty much the best setup possible until I get my hands on a few Sony PVMs, not an easy or cheap task.

Re: Reggie on Backing Up Your Saves with the Switch

@MegaTen This is an extremely uninformed opinion on what cloud saves are. Guess what, that Nintendo Switch account you already have that you use to play games, access the eshop and download digital content? That would be your "cloud save account". Unless Nintendo (which, lets face it, they probably would with their incompetence when it comes to online anything) force you to make another separate one. When you save your game, it would automatically save locally and to the cloud (if connected to the internet). You don't create separate accounts on a "cloud service" to store your games. When I save a game on Xbox One, it automatically saves to my local drive and cloud. When I save a game on Steam, Origin Uplay, etc, it saves to my local PC and the cloud.
